(4.33 out of 5)MDM Tour of the Twin Cities: Your Breakfast Experience Isn’t ‘Finnished’ Until You Eat Here!
March 26th, 2008 by markdownmom
The Finnish Bistro, owned by Finnish native Soile Anderson, is a delightful corner restaurant located in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota. As the name suggests the restaurant specializes in Finnish and European specialties.
Upon entering the restaurant your nose immediately fills with the inviting aroma of a home-cooked breakfast. This is because the Finnish Bistro serves breakfast all-day, and the selections reflect that special creativity of truly wonderful chefs without the gourmet price tag. For example, here’s a sampling of their breakfast menu:
The House Breakfast: Kielbasa sausage and roasted potatoes grilled with sautéed spinach and onions, accompanied by two eggs.
Pulla French Toast: Caramelized granny smith apples piled onto pulla bread dipped in egg batter, topped with lingonberries, whipped cream and powdered sugar.
Seasonal Fruit Crepe: Seasonal fruit wrapped in a fresh, tender crepe.
Ham and Cheese Omelet: Three egg omelet served with salsa fresca, two slices of toast and jam.
Vegetarian Omelet: Spinach, mushrooms, onions, red peppers, tomatoes and cheddar cheese served with salsa fresca, two slices of toast and jam.
Breakfast Croissant: Grilled ham, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and sliced tomato on a toasted croissant.
For a light breakfast, you could select from a variety of Finnish pastries (pictured right) from their display case such as cinnamon buns (korvapuustit), jam doughnuts (hillomunkit), or spoon cookies (lusikkaleivät). Also available to take home are home-baked breads and cakes.
The Finnish Bistro also has a good selection of soup and sandwich or salad combinations under $10.
Most meals range from $6 to $8 and University students receive a 15% discount with valid ID!
